Vocabulary of the Greek NT

Lightfoot (Phil..2 p. 169 ff.) has shown that by the phrase οἱ ἐκ τῆς Καίσαρος οἰκίας in Philippians 4:22 we are probably to understand slaves and freedmen attached to the palace, and has appealed to inscriptional evidence to prove that the designation embraced a large number of persons both in Rome and elsewhere (e.g. Ephesus), filling every description of more or less domestic office : see further SH p. 418 ff. In BGU I. 156.8 (A.D.201) χρηματίσατε Σατουρνείνῳ Καισάρων οἰκονόμῳ, Wilcken (Ostr. i. p. 499 n..4) holds that Καισάρων stands for Καισάρων δούλῳ : similarly in P Lond 256 recto.1 (A.D. 11–15) (= II. p. 96) Φαῦστος Πρίσκου Καίσαρος = Φ. Π. Καίσαρος δούλου (ib. p. 662); cf. the simple gen. Χριστοῦ, ";belonging to Christ"; (Galatians 3:29 al. : Deissmann LAE p. 382). On the other hand Καισάρειοι = ";Imperial freedmen,"; e.g. in P Oxy III. 477.5 (A.D.132–3), though their exact position is far from clear : see Chrest. I. 1. p. 47, and cf. Schubart Archiv v. p. 116 ff. For Καισαριανοί, ";Caesar’s officials,"; see Epict. i. 19. 19, and for καισάριον, ";palace,"; see an inscr. of the time of the Emperor Maurice referred to in Archiv ii. p. 403.
